  1. I remember when Anita Bryant spoke out against gays because of her Christian faith. People called her out and rightly so. Many decried her Christianity because of their stance of gay rights. Funny thing now, try to say the same about Islam and their stance on homosexuality. Even try to say it and you're labelled a Islamophobe. Yet, those you criticised Anita Bryant and her Christian views were never call Christianophobes. Why is that? The same goes for women's rights. The evidence is clear. Muslim women are treated as second class citizens in their religion. The Koran and the Hadiths are quite explicit in their status....how a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's, how she must obey her husband, how a man can have four wives, but a woman only one husband, how a woman is cursed by the angels for refusing sex to her husband and so on. Even mentioning this will label you a racist. If you say one thing about the Muslim concept of Jihad and martyrdom, many will reply by talking about the Crusades and European colonialism. It seems to me if the Crusades are wrong and they're implying that they are, then why isn't Jihad wrong? I just don't get the double standard.

  2. "who hasn't investigate(d)", "do the research", "educate yourself".....All mantras of the conspiracy crowd. Holocaust deniers, flat earthers, chemtrail advocates, ancient aliens.....doesn't matter. They all claim that they must be right because they, and only they, have put in the requisite time and study to know what's going on. Talk about child like and predictable to boot.

  3. Swift 364 Why would you conclude from my comment that the other lives lost in WW2 are unimportant? I never said they were. I was talking about the Holocaust, a specific incident in the war where Jews were rounded up and summarily executed in an assembly line operation. The other deaths are just as tragic but the death camp phenomenon was overtly callous and shocking.
